One of the Tesla Model X cars that will carry NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 to Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A is photographed at the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building on Oct. 5, 2022. The license plate tag reads “blast off.” NASA astronauts Nicole Mann, spacecraft commander, and Josh Cassada, pilot; Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina, mission specialist; and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Koichi Wakata, mission specialist, will launch to the International Space Station for a science expedition mission as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon Endurance spacecraft lifted off at noon EDT.

A Tesla with a tag that reads “ISSBND” is photographed at historic Launch Complex 39A during a dress rehearsal for launch at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 23, 2020, ahead of the agency’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station. The Tesla will take Demo-2 crew members Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley from the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building to the launch pad on launch day. Demo-2 will serve as an end-to-end flight test of SpaceX’s crew transportation system, providing valuable data toward NASA certifying the system for regular, crewed missions to the orbiting laboratory under the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Liftoff is targeted for 4:33 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27.
